In open multi-agent systems trust models are an important tool for agents to achieve effective interactions. However, in these kinds of open systems, the agents do not necessarily use the same, or even similar, trust models, leading to semantic differences between trust evaluations in the different agents. Hence, to successfully use communicated trust evaluations, the agents need to align their...

Abstract This paper addresses the relationships between hope and trust. I suggest that different kinds of trust relate to one another in ways, which conceive dynamic terms. propose movement has a unifying context: changing structure human life its dependence on other people. further argue most fundamental forms are inextricable. Together, they comprise diffuse way anticipating things general, c...

customers extend robust trust to a business when they believe the business puts their interests first. good experience of banking services and recommendations of other customers can increase trust. loyalty and word of mouth (wom) is accepted as key factors successes of marketing. this paper seeks to discover the affecting factors on positive word of mouth and loyalty based on trust enhancement ...

A cross-cultural analysis of trust and cooperation networks in Northern Ghana (NGHA) and Oaxaca (OAX) was carried out by means of ego networks and interviews. These regions were chosen because both are inhabited by several ethnic groups, thus providing a good opportunity to test the cultural group selection hypothesis. Against the predictions of this approach, we found that in both regions coop...

Security is a key feature in Wireless Sensor Networks but they are prone to many kinds of attacks and one of them is Black Hole Attack. In a black hole attack all the packets are consecutively dropped which leads to the decrease in the efficiency of the network and unnecessary wastage of battery life. In this paper, we propose an exponential trust based mechanism to detect the malicious node. I...

We propose a formal model for reputation-based trust management. In contrast to credential-based trust management, in our framework an agent’s reputation serves as the basis for trust. For example, an access control policy may consider the agent’s reputation when deciding whether to offer him a license for accessing a protected resource. The underlying semantic model is an event semantics inspi...

Sensor networks and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are key components for the development of the Internet of Things. These networks are subject of two kinds of constraints. Adaptability by the mean of mutability and evolutivity, and constrained node resources such as energy consumption, computational complexity or memory usage. In this context, none of the existing protocols and models allows r...
